1 six-digit code · Heading 1 of 15 in Chapter 68 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 6801 covers setts, curbstones and flagstones made of natural stone, but not slate. Think of cobbles, curbs and paving stones that are cut for roads, paths and squares.
Heading 6801does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Stone; setts, curbstones and flagstones, of natural stone (except slate)” classify at the single six-digit code 680100. The heading is number 1 of 15 in Chapter 68, Stone, plaster, cement, asbestos, mica or similar materials; articles thereof, which runs to 50 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 6801 covers
The heading is for paving-type goods cut from natural stone. These are the setts, curbs and flagstones that line roads and walkways.
Natural stone means stone taken from the ground and cut to shape. It is not made in a factory. The words "except slate" matter a lot. A curbstone made of slate does not belong in this heading.

HS 680100 and longer HSN code versions
The World Customs Organization sets the first six digits of every code in the Harmonized System. For this heading, that level is 680100. Many countries add more digits for their own tariffs. Some of them call these longer versions HSN codes.
The first six digits stay the same in every country. A longer national code that starts with 680100 still points to the same goods. If you see a longer number on a bill of entry, cut it back to six digits to compare it with this page.
Always read the customs description as well as the number. The words on the entry tell you more than the digits alone.
Difference between HS 6801 and 6802, 6803 and 6810
Stone goods are easy to put in the wrong heading. Three nearby headings cause most of the mix-ups. Ask what the item is made of and what has been done to it.
The list below gives a quick guide. For the exact wording, use the HS code classifier or read the heading pages.
- 6803: worked slate and articles of slate. A slate curbstone goes here, not in 6801.
- A curb poured from concrete goes here, because it is not natural stone.
Other headings in Chapter 68
Chapter 68 also covers grinding stones, abrasive powder, rock wool, asphalt, plaster, mica and friction material. If your product is not a paving stone, one of these headings may fit better.
